For more than a week, we’ve been watching the fallout from the study that supposedly linked fish oil to prostate cancer, which took the media and the medical community by storm. Over the last several days, experts have been weighing in on this controversial topic. It turns out that, while the this single study may have shown higher Omega-3 levels among those with prostate tumors, there’s no evidence to suggest that the fish oil actually caused the prostate tumors. Here’s a great article we found that provides a very clear explanation of the fish oil prostate cancer study, and why you probably shouldn’t change your supplement regimen based on its results.
For radical prostatectomy physicians and patients, we’d like you to view our UroStop™ variable tension penile loop for preventing climacturia, or urine leaking during sex.

After a prostate cancer diagnosis and radical prostatectomy, some couples may wonder if their sex life will ever return to what it once was. Although sex after prostate surgery may present unique challenges, fortunately, many couples are able to resume satisfying and enjoyable intimate relationships.
If you or someone you love has or will have radical prostatectomy, here are a few ways to prepare for sex after surgery.
Understand the Possibilities
Although nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy has improved the quality of sex after prostate surgery, the possible sexual changes after surgery are often not adequately discussed, including erectile dysfunction, climacturia, and urine leaking during sex. The younger a patient is at the time of surgery, the less likely he is to be affected by sexual dysfunction after surgery. Regardless of age, understanding the challenges you may encounter will help you be more prepared for and less intimidated by them.
Treatment Options for ED
Erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery can be treated in a number of ways, depending on what is best for your situation. There are more ED treatment options available today than ever before, including penile injections, implants, and oral medications.
Preventing Climacturia
Climacturia, or leaking urine during orgasm, is often prevented by the use of a variable tension penile loop, a soft silicone tube placed around the penis and adjusted to provide comfortable pressure on the urethra to physically prevent leaking urine during sex. UroSciences offers the UroStop™, a penile loop specifically designed to reduce the frequency, amount of leakage, and distress associate with climacturia or experiencing a urine leak during sex.
A Note on Patience
Restoring active and satisfying intimate relationships after prostate cancer requires a considerable amount of time. While some may attempt intercourse with the aid of prescription medication in the early months, it is common for erectile dysfunction and sexual incontinence to persist throughout the first couple of years after prostate surgery.

 The UroStop variable tension penile loop for sexual incontinence.
For approximately half of radical prostatectomy patients and their partners, sexual incontinence or urine leakage during orgasm is an unexpected side effect and yet another obstacle to overcome after a prostate cancer diagnosis and surgery. As a little talked about result of radical prostatectomy, many patients feel they are uninformed as to how to manage climacturia.
As one of the most common methods of controlling sexual incontinence, a variable tension penile loop can prevent urine leakage during sex and, as a result, reduce the amount of distress experienced by the patient and his partner.
What is a Variable Tension Penile Loop?
Simply stated, a variable tension penile loop is a soft silicone loop to place around the penis during sexual activity. The loop is adjustable to both provide the level of pressure needed, and increase the comfort of the wearer.
How Does a Penile Loop Work for Urine Leakage?
When placed around the penis before sexual activity with the correct amount of tension (adjusted by the wearer), a variable tension penile loop compresses the urethra, the pathway through which urine flows, to prevent urine from escaping during sex and orgasm. As an added benefit of controlling climacturia, men achieve greater sexual satisfaction and reduced distress.

Surgical removal of the prostate, also known as radical prostatectomy, is a medical procedure performed to remove and control prostate cancer. For many men, approximately half of those who undergo radical prostatectomy, urinary incontinence during sex presents a difficult to approach, and sometimes embarrassing problem.
If you or your partner experience urine leakage during sex or urinary incontinence during orgasm, also known as climacturia, due to prostate surgery, it is important to know that the condition is manageable. Below, we have outlined suggestions for managing sexual incontinence.
UroStop
The first device of its kind, UroStop is a soft, silicone variable tension penile loop designed to interrupt the flow of urine through the urethra. By placing the latex-free UroStop over the penis prior to sexual activity, and then adjusting the tension to a comfortable level, the wearer is able to prevent urinary incontinence during sex.
Voiding the Bladder
One of the most practical approaches to avoid urinary incontinence during orgasm is to empty the bladder immediately before sexual activity. Simply stated, an empty bladder assures that little or no urine is available at the time when sexual incontinence may occur. For some men, this can prevent, or dramatically reduce the amount of urine leaked.
Avoiding Stimulants
Caffeine and other stimulants can increase both the level of urgency and the frequency of urination. Avoiding food and drinks containing caffeine may help some men suffering from sexual incontinence by reducing the need for urination.
Condom Use
For sexual incontinence after radical prostatectomy, the use of a condom may help contain small amounts of urinary incontinence during sex. Although a condom does not prevent sexual incontinence, using one may prevent urine from coming into contact with the partner.
